showing the strength of the flame for the relevant
burner.

1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an
anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the
maximum flame setting 

(

3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired
level by turning the BURNER knob in an
anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum
setting

between the two.

If the appliance is fitted with
an electronic lighting
device* (

ignition button, marked with
the symbol

the BURNER knob down

anticlockwise direction, towards the maximum flame

Practical advice on using the burners

For the burners to work in the most efficient way
possible and to save on the amount of gas
consumed, it is recommended that only pans that
have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also
be suited to the size of the burner.

Burner

 Cookware diameter (cm)

Fast (R)

Semi Fast (S)

Auxiliary (A)

10 - 14

To identify the type of burner, please refer to the
diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle
specifications”.

!

 On the models supplied with a reducer shelf,

remember that this should be used only for the
auxiliary burner when you use casserole dishes with
a diameter under 12 cm.

Using the oven

!

 The first time you use your appliance, heat the

empty oven with its door closed at its maximum
temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off
and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit
a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process
burning away.

!

 Before operating the product, remove all plastic

film from the sides of the appliance.

!

 Never put objects directly on the bottom of the

oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being
damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when
cooking with the rotisserie spit.

The oven knobs

With these two controls you can select the different
functions of the oven and choose the cooking
temperature suitable for the food you are preparing.
The different cooking functions are set up by
operating the two knobs:

the selection knob
the thermostat knob on the oven panel.

For any selection-knob setting different from idle,
identified by the “00000”, the oven light turns on; the
knob setting marked 

permits turning on the oven

light without any heating element being switched on.
When the oven light is on, it means that the oven is
in use, and it will remain on for the entire time the
oven is being used.
